When Neighbours Become Good Friends

Australian TV and singing star Jason Donovan chose June and Bali as the time and location to wed his longtime girlfriend Angela Malloch.

The former star of the Australian TV series "Neighbours" and London West End musical star, Donovan, surprised friends and family who joined him in Bali ostensibly to celebrate his 40th birthday party when he "tied the knot" with his housemate of nearly a decade with whom he has fathered two children, Jenna, eight, and seven-year-old Zac.

Donovan was once linked romantically to his "Neighbours" co-star, Kylie Minogue who has gone on to pursue a successful musical career.

The choice of Bali by Donovan for his wedding to Malloch must have been something of a bittersweet choice for Donovan, who made headlines many years ago when photographers caught Donovan and Minogue frollicking in Bali's surf. Donovan's wedding in Bali has beaten his co-star and friend to the Altar as Minogue remains single.

Neighbours

Neighbours is an Australian soap opera shown five days a week that has been in continuous production since 1985. The story line follows the intrigues, petty squabbles and romances of several families living on Ramsay Street in the fictional Australian suburb of Erinsborough.

Reruns and rebroadcasts of the show are seen around the world, including the U.K., where the program is broadcast twice each day. Perhaps because the English don't believe it the first time?
